Tollertbruch

This former quarry promises a quick way to cool off: With no beach or shallow entry points, the only way into the water is via small rocky outcrops. https://www.geo.de/reisen/reise-inspiration/tollertbruch_30153942-30167826.html

The Spittelbruch Kleinsteinberg quarry is located east of Leipzig, between Naunhof and Brandis. The quarry was created by the extraction of granite porphyry and covers an area of 1.47 hectares. The Spittelbruch is located in a forest on Kleinsteinberger Straße. The quarry has wooded banks. The banks slope steeply and gradually descend into the depths. On the western shore, there is a shallow water zone with weed beds and dead wood in the water. Hot spots are generally found near rocky outcrops and objects in the water. Compared to the surrounding quarries, the Spittelbruch has a meager fish population. https://www.fisch-hitparade.de/gewaesser/spittelbruch-kleinsteinberg/

Here, you'll find the remains of the former elevator for the quarried stone from the Kirchbruch (church quarry), two five-meter-high reinforced concrete columns. In 1988, the idea arose to use these columns to display the stone used in the former GDR. Graphic designer Gerd Nawrot and the geologists from "Elbnaturstein Dresden" advised on the implementation. The surrounding area was designed by the municipality. To this day, granite, syenite, quartz porphyry, metabasalt (formerly diabase), and syenite granite from eastern Germany can be compared and admired here. https://geopark-porphyrland.de/geopark/industriekultur/abbauen/granitporphyr-aus-beucha/

This technical monument was built between 1911 and 1913 by Leipzig civil engineer Arthur Bunde based on plans by Walter Gralapp from Brandis. The tower is an architectural highlight, as its square base serves as a gateway to the cemetery. Until the mid-1950s, the nearly 28-meter-high tower supplied water to Beucha, as well as the villages of Kleinsteinberg, Wolfshain, and Albrechtshain. The steel, open-topped Barkhausen reservoir, with a capacity of 100 cubic meters of water, is still installed in the tower. With a diameter of 7.40 meters and a height of 4.90 meters, the steel cylinder is accessible via a converted cast-iron staircase on the upper floor. Since 2009, the city of Brandis has owned the five-story tower with its octagonal floor plan and tent roof. https://www.leipzig-days.de/wasserturm-beucha/
